📓You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense

[Gladiator-wyqb]

"If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose." - Charles Bukowski.

[bonesaredollars]

Not being able to love fully they will believe your love incomplete.

That one hits home.

[AnthonyLiccione]

"As a child, I was afraid of the dark and the monsters on the outside.
As a man, I run away from the light, afraid to show the monsters within."

[JohnSmith-hvzj]

"Beware  the quiet man. For while others speak, he watched. And while others act, he plans. And when they finally rest… he strikes."

[CanadianPrepper]

"Beware the knowers, for they are afraid of what they do not know"

[thekhan]

"I am just smart enough, to know how dumb I am." - Richard Feynman

[donniedarkko]

Beware of he who smelt it, for they are the ones who dealt it

[bobcabot]

...you cannot find Bukowski: He finds you...

[gauravsinha]

'There is genius in their hatred. There is enough genius in their hatred to kill you. To kill anybody.' Don't you ever underestimate these words.

[sin.]

Beware your self, For you are like the rest.

[owlcu]

"God bless those who seek the truth; god protect us from those who think they've found it". - proverb

[thekidfox]

The duality in people, never underestimate that.

[freddymarcel-marcum]

Well this is something to talk about at parties.

[Pj.stare]

Beware of those who give love too easily, they'll take it back just the same.

[vedant]

Look, I preach peace, and I don't have it, nor have I have love. This line crushed me and I have a lot of thinking to do

[johnadamski]

Beware of those that need constant

[SP-mfsh]

Beautiful. Solitude is the ONLY way to know yourself. Other people influence you and mold your character to fit theirs to help their gain. There are very few genuine people in this world but if you find one keep them. Just don't get influenced by them fully.

[aleksinako]

Bukowski once said:

There is loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of a clock’s hand.

[bebeezra]

This poem beautifully captures the Jungian *_shadow._*

[tangobango]

‘Beware the preachers...Beware the knowers’ is the best advice you’ll ever hear in your life.
